Mate, you're a bloody life saver. Appreciate your time making this video. Just got the passenger side done on my 01 4Mo Bora in under an hour thanks to you. Cheers
That's awesome, glad the video helped you out 👌
Very good video, everything went smoothly by following these instructions. Special thanks for mentioning the small but crucial details (like the outside handle cable alignment and supporting the window).
Glad it helped!
Your car is in such a good condition. I'm a bit envious. Good Job!
Thank you 😊
Brilliant video.. just completed on my Golf after following these steps..
All went smoothly.. thanks man.
Glad the video helped you out 👌
One thing this also fixes is the fuel pump primes for a couple seconds when you open the driver's door. Although it seemed to have no impact on it running, it was nice to fix that. Thanks for the video! Mine had also started to not lock without using the key, it was in rough shape haha.
And also activates the headlights on warning buzzer so no flat battery 🤣
Hi there - I’m reaching out to say thank-you so much for taking the time to make this very helpful video - I followed it & successfully replaced faulty door lock today & everything worked 🥳. Only error I made was completely removing window glass securing bolts rather than just loosening them till glass was removable. Had to take apart again as couldn’t get thread to connect with inner panel mounted - but sorted it out. Very great full - all the important points you made were well considered and appreciated. Cheers
Awesome glad the video help you through the process, them window clips can be a fiddle but easy enough access.
Thanks for the advice! Got my MK4 R32 done with the same instructions! Cheers!
Glad the video helped 👌
Thanks a bunch mate, really helped me out
Awesome glad the video helped you out 👌💯
Thanks - exactly the video I needed. What a complete nightmare disassembly, just to replace a £10 cable!
Glad the video helped, yeah it's a pain in the backside!
@@meatmanifesto I'm about to do it in the rain (no garage), which makes it even less amusing!
Yes that's definitely no fun!
Excellent video bro!!! Did my 05 VR6 today. Great job man!
Awesome, glad the video helped.
Thanks mate - good video
Thank you 👍
Really good, thanks a lot. I need to fix my lock soon. Now I am looking forward to doung it after your awesome tutorial.
Glad the video helped, it's pretty straight forward.
Great work Sir 👍 thank you I bought a new Mk4 wagon 2005 1,6 roll 136000 km and I have the same problem now I can fixed it
Ah awesome they're great cars, it's an easy fix and very common
Been wondering how to do this on my Bora, thanks!
No worries at all, glad the video helped 👌
Nice easy fix, haha, I've replaced engine heads and it was simpler then this i swear
🤣🤣
Thanks for the video.
Do you know what is the exact type of the "tight" screws on @6:58?
I stripped both of them and I'll need to extract and buy some new ones. 😢
Thanks
I don't sorry.
@@meatmanifesto no worries.
I have found them:
Seems they are in M6 20mm size, the head is triple square (or called XZN).
great video pal! my driver side courtesy light isnt coming on ive checked connections and its all fine and ive linked up to VCDS and both modules either side are faulty...do i need a new key if i replace the module or is the barrel going to stay the same?
You keep the same key/barrel just replace the modules
@@meatmanifesto thankyou for the reply!
No worries at all
Thanks for the video! My 01 TDI electric door lock hasn't been working for a long time and my car bhas been broken in a few times now. This part is the electronic lock, right?
Yes all part of the same module
any idea why still nort working the stick haveerection though lock/un lock on buttons bought new the doorlock pin not moving with centrallocking can it be loose or another faulty, manual key blade locking working cheers m8 great video :)
Sorry bud hard to say over the internet
How long does this job take?
About an hour
Hi, I have a mk4 & need to do the rear door actuator, at first it was locking & unblocking but now it is locked and I can't unlock it at all, do you have any suggestions how to get the door open so I can do the job?
You'll have to destroy the door card I'm afraid, you can try bang the door outside under the handle while unlocking the door. That sometimes jogs the motor into action
Great video , question to ask when changing door lock is it best to disconnected battery or does it not matter
No you need the power on to open close window etc
@@meatmanifesto cheers for quick response
No worries at all, I've done loads of these in the past hope the video helps
Do you think likely same issue for me, ie Door Module? In my case, key simply doesn't turn in the lock. I have to open passenger side and reach across to unlatch in morning, push button down from inside to lock at night. Elsewise all good. Tried lubricating lock barrel, no joy.
Sounds like it
@@meatmanifesto got completely stuck at 07:40, lock barrel didn't loosen or would it move at all despite repeatedly trying & increasingly loosening the T20 (didn't remove it). Is there some sort of retaining clip that maybe got missed from your vid, or assuming I didn't miss any steps, was mine probably just wanting a good whack / pry. Thanks!
@@julianlangdon3456 there is no retaining clip, just give it a good wiggle they sometimes can get stuck hard
this is my other account it was Robs Adventures replying :)
Good video!! But, can u pls tell me which screws did u use instead rivets for inner door panel?
No idea what rivets you're referring to?
Hi Rob. I assume it is the same procedure for the passenger door? Or is there anything significantly different. Thanks and great video
Exactly the same bud
Just completed this on the passenger door. Worked a treat. Thanks for the helpful and informative video
Ah that's awesome, glad the video helped save another Mk4 Golf 😁🇩🇪
Just got the 2 rear doors to do now. They look a little more tricky to me but I’m definitely going to give it a go 👍
Definitely get them done before you start having issues and they become impossible to open, the backs are straight forward enough
Great tutorial. Much better suggestion to leave the window in and tape it rather than fully removing it. And also with just loosening the bolts that fasten the window rather than removing them.
Is your new actuator OEM or did you get an ebay version? The cost difference is so high I'm thinking it might the risk with an ebay version worth it.
Thank you glad the video helped you out, just go with the cheap eBay ones they last years
@@meatmanifesto Received and installed my eBay version. Works just like the original. Perfect advice and solution. Saved me $600 to buy the $30 version off eBay and do it myself. Thank you!
That's great news all about cutting the costs 😃 prepare for more doors to fail 🤣
Hi sir. When u replace this. Does it need coding to the car or is it plug and play
Plug and play
Hi Rob,
I have an issue with my mk4 golf git. The passenger lock wont lock/unlock with the remote central locking. It locks/unlocks fine with the key in the door. Will replacing the door lock module fix my issue do you think?
TIA
I'd check the wiring in the door hinge first, inside the large rubber grommet. Could be a split wire, if not yeah I'd change out that module before you can't open the door at all.
@@meatmanifesto thanks Rob for the reply. I will check the wires in the door. You can hear the lock trying to do something in the door when the remote buttons are pressed which makes me think it’s something knackered on the module. Awesome vids though my man!!
@@ajfryer oh in that case get it replaced asap, I've had them fail so many times, it's not fun replacing one when you can't open the door 🤣 thanks mate glad you're enjoying the videos
@@meatmanifesto Yeah will do mate, do you have a link to the module that you brought?
That video is a few years old now, this one should do the job www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230811017363?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=or0_JL91Q2q&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=_gbMOv_gTne&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Any idea why my lock isn't working? I replaced the lock actuator, but now my lock doesn't do anything when I turn my key. It can't lock or unlock.
Hard to diagnose over the internet unfortunately.
My doors open and close just fine, but two doors have locks that won't lock/unlock with remote or buttons. They have to be manually pushed down or unlocked by using the door handle from inside. Is replacing the actuators the only solution? Thanks!
Unfortunately yes, best replace them before they totally pack up!
@@meatmanifesto thank you for the quick response. This problem has actually been going on for a while.
No worries at all, trouble is leave it too long and you won't be able to open the doors I've had that happen several times. Now I change as soon as they start playing up
@@meatmanifesto is this a reoccurring issue with vw? Or you just see it in multiple cars?
Definitely a common VW thing
Oy, why does your dimmer have 2 adjusters? That a euro option?
We have side lights 501 bulb and the main headlights H7 bulbs over here.
Inner one is heightadjuster for the headlights. Outer one is dimmer for the tach.
Thought he meant the light switch 🤣
Volkswagen said it will cost me £1300 to fix my windows going down on their own on my 2004 golf because needs to replace all door locks and window motors. That seems a bit much for all that to be done seeings as door lock is going for £34 on eBay
Main dealer for you
@@meatmanifesto so a smaller garage would do it a lot cheaper?
Most definitely a lot cheaper
That does no look easy....
Take your time it's very straight forward
@@meatmanifesto date with destiny tomorrow I think, I'm going to start in the morning and give myself all day. Haha
Ah nice, good weather too 😃 just take your time my video covers pretty much everything. Take your time easy (ish) job
